&c. L. Duffan. Texas: have horse that has been
cut on barb wire, just in front of the hook joint of
the hind-leg Can you tell me what will cure 1t up,
and take of the scar. 1t has been cut about four
months
Apply the following: Vaseline, one ounce,
and verdigris one drachm. On, coordinate of zinc,
one drachm, lard one ounce. Cleanse and dry
wound and apply. If one fails try the other.
They are both good for healing sores.
J. D. p. Canton Madison county, Miss: have
young mule that is troubled very much with warts.
Sometime age deep-seaed bloody wart made its
appearance just above the eye
Sprinkled arsenic on wart every day for ten days.
The arsenic seemed to form hard crust or scab.
Wouldshave off seab with sharp knife before each
application of arsenic. Turned mule in pasture
no improvement on the wart l tried
a paste of cobalt and lard, applied this every
day for ten days. After waiting on this one
month, the result is the wart looks very much
worse, and four or five times as large. 1t is
now about four inches in diameter. Is it
wart, or is it,a cancer. If either, or whatever
it is, please give me remedy to remove it.
il the tumor is cancerous it would be apt to
supparate. AS you do not mention that
feature, we infer it is wart. Your best plan
is to have it cut out To correct the tendency
to wart growth, give the animal half an
ounce of sulpnate of soda daily for some weeks,
and give also three times a week draohm
each of powdered copperas and gentian root
Feed literally.
c. S. P: have a lot of dried apple pomace on
hand. Can you tell me ifthey Of any value or
use, and if 50 what? If useful for feed for Stock
how prepared? II for making beer, the method?
When the juice is expressed from the apple,
little is left but cellulose (woody matter) and a
little starch. The pomace would rank then
with the less nutricions forages-like grass cut
after the seed were formed amp partially dried up
1t miglt he rs,d as forage by soaking in water or
steamngit and mixing it with mealor bran. We have
no practical acquaintance with 1t as feeding stuff
1t contains too little sugar to be of much value as
source of beer. Can any reader throw more light

Subscriber, South Carolina; l. have about 1000
bushels ofootton seed which Iwish to compost with
| acid phosphase and desire TO know from you how
| much acid will be required. Give me also your
| method of composing. .. have field that is
very heavily coated with crab grass will it be ad-
yisabe TO use the above compost 10 bushels OF 1t TO
the acre, 100 or 150 pounds of ammonated guano.
5 also want to apply some guano to the growing
crop as an experiment; how will so about it, Will
it increase the yield enough 10 justify one to try it,
! 4 win it be well to turn under stubble etc., in
| January or February for cotton.
LIST. Quantity of phosphate varies with
! quality of land and kind of crop. For cotton
| on medium land ten bushels OF seed to 100
! pounds Of phosphate is about right. Wet the
| seed thoroughly and mix phosphate carefully
with them Put in pen and tread down firmly
\ to keep fermentation within bound. 1t will
I get dry during fermentation, and the heat is
| likely to become too great. To obyiate this
make holes down through the mass and pour
| in water. It is best 10 compost only week or
4 so before applying. Where lot manure enters
